Personally, I can’t decide if Tyrannosaurus Rump’s baffling ignorance about the historical meaning of “red wave” is hilarious or terrifying considering he’s been cupping Putin’s ass for two years now. (shudder)

voters in the UK (well those that can be arsed) will be deciding today which two-faced, lying buggers to support in the snap general election called by the conservative leader Theresa May

it will likely be the early hours of tomorrow before we have an inkling of which party is on track to be the next government – till then, I will probably be experiencing many of the states depicted here – http://tinyurl.com/ya2lzr4d
